Several researchers have been unsuccessful in locating the baptism of John Joseph Bourke Connell born on 5 Nov 1853 in Ireland, son of William Connell and Mary Burke.
There are a number of places in Ireland where he could have been born and later baptised because his father William Connell served in various locations where there are military barracks where the 17th (The Leicestershire) Regiment Of Foot were stationed. John Joseph Burke Connell's sister Ellen was born in 1851 in Oughterard, County Galway and her birth was registered in the British Armed Forces And Overseas Births And Baptisms, so he could have been born there or in Limerick or in Newbridge, County Kildare.
I should be grateful if you could see if you can find his baptism.
